Birthday, Palm, Cottage, Bang

I have offcially survived AngelA’s birthday. She even says she’s happy. I might just believe her. Life is good.

In other news, I just started my first Palm Pilot program. I bought a IIIxe something like 2 years ago with the rationalization of learning about handheld development, but never actually got around to it. It turns out to be not so tricky, at least for the basic stuff, but it’s no fun working from a book you bought 2 or 3 revisions of the OS ago. Still, I managed to install a development environment and get something on the screen in an afternoon or so, so I’ll give myself a pat on the back. Now to migrate to the Mac…

The Palms are going to be the crutch for the weekend – we’re going to some kind of cottage where they don’t have phone lines, let alone computers. I haven’t been that technology free for about 5 years, and I’m not sure how I’ll take it. Alcohol will ease any transition pain, I guess, but I’m finding the concept to be a scary one – what if I find out that I like living without computers? I might find myself going outside or something. This won’t do.

Fun link for the day – here’s what’s wrong with guns. Or people who own guns. Or people who hang out with people who own guns. Whatever.
